Weather maps available for Fairchild personnel

  • Published
  • Air Mobility Command Public Affairs
As the U.S. heads into summer, time for tornados and hurricanes, Air Mobility Command personnel should know they can access weather maps, from weather radar to hurricane tracking, on AMC.maps at https://AMC.maps.us.af.mil.

AMC.maps is the common name for the website that hosts AMC's geospatial data. While several of the datasets include weather, a lot of other map-related data and information can be found on the site as well.

Common-access card holders may use the site to search AMC bases for everything from buildings to aircraft location, or to create customized maps to match a mission need. The maps, maintained by the AMC Geo Integration Office, contain information from civil engineering surveys, earthquakes, aircraft maintenance status, and airfield suitability reports, among other things. Fairchild installation information is maintained by the 92nd Civil Engineer Squadron. Overseas airfields may contain enhanced National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency imagery and data.

Many more tools and services are offered on the website. For an introduction to the AMC.maps viewers and its tools, go to the home page and scroll down to find a training presentation and user guides. Other capabilities on the map views include:

· Facility locator: allows searches by building name or number
· Global aircraft search: uses G081 maintenance data
· Draw and Measure: create a customized map to meet your needs
· Snapshot: captures JPEG images for emailing
· Airfield locator: search more than 47,000 global airfields

Training programs are available for AMC organizations. To set up training on using the maps or for additional information on the mapping program, contact the 92nd Civil Engineer Squadron Geo Integration program manager, Jamie Kowalski at (509) 247-9399, or the AMC GIO at amc.maps@us.af.mil or DSN 779-4360.
